Patients lacking the traditional cardiovascular risk factors of hypertension, dyslipidaemia,
diabetes mellitus or a history of smoking have previously been described as SMuRFless
(Standard Modifiable Risk Factor-less) and recognised to represent an increasing proportion
of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) and cardiac arrest with poor outcomes [

percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) registry.Keywords

- PreviewRecently, the impact of the lack of standard modifiable risk factors, including hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidaemia, and current smoking, has been investigated in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (MI). The present study aimed to evaluate clinical characteristics and prognosis of the patients with no standard risk factors in acute MI.
